This invention relates to at new and improved handkerchief wherein means are providcd to hold a vanity case or or powder pnfi in on ottroctive and sanitary manner,

lt isa nioin feature of my invention to pro vide o pocket in o hondlrerchiezf and to provide securing means for closin said pocket,

: which securing ines will nt t e some time *mnintoin the body oi the poclret closely nd to jocent to the tohric oi the handkerchief.

A further object of the invention is to pro-- ride the fastening means in such o situation that the pocket mny he coolly turned insido' out so as to render the some more occesoihlo to for lonndcrin marking it cosy to mnintoin the pocket wt or times in n condition.

' The invention is designed olso to provide pocket with iostonino' moons upon which will require some rolnohlc time for thorn ore no ports which to when laundered, or con rne otter floundering, thcreloy e wonr onol teor snch on l'llprenewing the so ry time the hondlrerchiot is looneliminating th ping ofi' eve old neccssltotea to ll further ohiect oi? the invention is to proride pcchet so constructed thot it will open ensily i when held tween the thnrnlo end finger so thot the contents otsnch oolret are costly occeosilolc is not ht, on not to course clurnsiness and person using the same.

It is also on object of ride a. chet in a In such n sitnctionthot n handkerchief is ava ilnhlc for its usual service and if the handkerchief the corners thereof can he att around the ocket so that handkerchie? can hold in the palm of the hand ing the lacy corner to h tive manner.

With these and other objects in view which mo apparent as the description procoeds, the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aartial elevational view of a corner of a ban crchief of lanydosired materiql and having any desired decoration r Figure 2 is o. cross, sectional view 0 the dherchiczt loco 1n ractively drape the owner of the the same attractively while dancing allow.-

The layer l3 which W is preferably integrol with the hop in in socnred to the iohric or the hnnollrerchiel hy sowing or othc rwinc nt in and the layer M.- is securcd to the iolorio or the hondlrerchiei wt 17 by or otherwise w @no element l8 oi: o snnn iostcner is providcd upon the on it of the pocket oncl the element 18 cooperntes with the icmolo n1- her 129 of the snow fastener which is recnrecl y sewing 2 0 orctherwise to both the ioloric all 10 of the hnndlrerchiei and the layer M in a manner shown in Figure 2 7 he provision oi the flap 12 with the snap astening element 18 allowsthe location oi the other element or the snap fastener 19 bcow the opening 21 of the pocket so that'the layer 14 or the pocket is secured to the :t'ahric 10 of the handkerchief both at 17 and at 20. This will cause the fabric layer 13 and 14 of the pocket always to adhere closely to the m alarm 10 of the handkerchief. In other words, this construction due to the positioning of the snap fasten element 19 will cause the pocket always to h the fabric of the handkerchief.

Figure 3 a modification oftha invention is shown in which the pocket is divided into two compartments due to the central layer e central layer at its top 'ortion is sc-.

ct bymeans I t0 the layer 14 of the 1% other 61d parallel to bodiment the snap separate items of course can up their car face money in In this particular enifastener 19 extends through the element 14 and the fabric 10 of the handkerchief in the same manner as above described. The securing means 20 in this case also maintains bars 13 and 22 of snap fastener 23.

closely adjacent to the body of the handkerchief due to the double securing at spaced points to the fabric of the handkerchief of the element 1% of the pocket.

In this latter niodificmtion there is revided two compartments 24 and 25 in w id). be placed, such as car keys or money or a powder 11nd.

The handkerchief 18 also esaecially suitable for children since the chil ren can carry therein the street car passes or the money necessary for their lunches or any small articles that they desire. This invention will eliminate the usual practice of children of tying; a hot in their handkerchief.
